VCF Evaluation Panel

An Evaluation Panel comprising representatives from MCYS, NCSS and the People's Association will assess the applications. The VCF Evaluation Panel meets once every two months. All VWOs and training providers (submitting local training applications for pre-approval status) are to adhere to the time frame for submission of applications for the respective grants. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Due to the nature of pilot projects and Social Service research projects, which typically require in-depth discussion between VWOs and NCSS departments assessing the applications, VWOs interested in embarking on such projects are strongly encouraged to contact the VCF Secretariat early to arrange for preliminary discussion before submitting applications.

Applications submitted for such projects by the stated closing date will only be tabled at the next VCF Evaluation Panel meeting, e.g. a pilot project Grant application sent in around 19 Aug 2010 will likely be presented at the Panel Meeting on 2 Dec 2010 instead of 7 Oct 2010 for decision. This is due to the time required for the proposed project scope, funding amount and output/outcome indicators to be finalised for recommendation to the VCF Evaluation Panel.

The VCF Secretariat will inform applicants on the outcome of their applications.

The decision of the VCF Evaluation Panel is final.
